description <h4>Background</h4>Particularly fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has become a significant public health concern in China due to its harmful effects on human health. This study aimed to examine the trends in all causes and cause specific morality burden attributable to PM2.5 pollution in China.<h4>Methods</h4>We extracted data on all causes and cause specific mortality data attributable to PM2.5 exposure for the period 1990-2019 in China from the Global Burden of Disease 2019. The average annual percent change (AAPC) in age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and years of life lost (YLLs) due to PM2.5 exposure were calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program. Using Pearson's correlation, we estimated association between burden trends, urban green space area, and higher education proportions.<h4>Results</h4>During the period 1990-1999, there were increases in mortality rates for All causes (1.6%, 95% CI: 1.5% to 1.8%), Diabetes mellitus (5.2%, 95% CI: 4.9% to 5.5%), Encephalitis (3.1%, 95% CI: 2.6% to 3.5%), Ischemic heart disease (3.3%, 95% CI: 3% to 3.6%), and Tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer (5%, 95% CI: 4.7% to 5.2%). In the period 2010-2019, Diabetes mellitus still showed an increase in mortality rates, but at a lower rate with an AAPC of 1.2% (95% CI: 1% to 1.4%). Tracheal bronchus and lung cancer showed a smaller increase in this period, with an AAPC of 0.5% (95% CI: 0.3% to 0.6%). In terms of YLLs, the trends appear to be similar.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our findings highlight increasing trends in disease burden attributable to PM2.5 in China, particularly for diabetes mellitus, tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer.
